Oleksandr Usyk has given a brilliant response when he was queried on who would win in a fight between Anthony Joshua, Daniel Dubois and Derek Chisora.
Usyk faces Dubois for the second time in a rematch for their last bout two years ago, which the Ukrainian won in Poland in 2023. The fight itself was a controversial one as Dubois threw a body shot to Usyk in the fifth round, that arguably landed low, with the latter immediately wincing and hunching.
The referee didn’t start a count, and instead allowed Usyk, per the rules, five minutes to recover before restarting the fight. Usyk didn’t take the allocated time, but Dubois was unable to capitalise, having been dropped to his knee in the eighth round, and again in the ninth, of which he was unable to recover.
Since then, though, Dubois has been in exceptional form, getting the better of Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and, most recently, Anthony Joshua, whom he knocked out at Wembley last September.

In the build up to the hotly anticipated unification bout at Wembley, Usyk was asked: “Anthony Joshua, Derek Chisora, Daniel Dubois all come in to this room for a fight. Who walks out?”
And Usyk gave a brilliant response, stating: “Hey listen guys, maybe we go to pub? No. No fight.

“I think Anthony [Joshua], ‘yes of course’. Derek [Chisora] ‘oh yeah, it’s a good idea’. Maybe Daniel [Dubois] ‘no, no, no. Go to fight’. Hey, hey, hey, take it easy.
"Go to pub. I give you candy!”
